3. It can increase the risk of a stroke or heart attack
Maybe you’ve heard about this before, but some people suffer strokes and heart attacks when they feel extremely stressed. This is not a coincidence. All of this is related to the brain and the way it works.
The hypothalamus, one of the regions of your brain, is stimulated by stress, which prompts the production of the hormones known as cortisol and adrenaline from your adrenal glands. These hormones act as stimulants, which will raise your blood pressure.
Your heart needs to work harder to pump and circulate blood to the body while under constant stress to balance the elevated blood pressure.
You are more likely to get a heart attack or stroke if your blood pressure fluctuates and rises. This is why you should be very careful and take care of yourself if you know that you have heart problems or a predisposition to get a stroke.

Fantastic info. Needed to see this. Very enlightening.
This is fascinating. I have every one of these symptoms except the acid reflux/ulcers but had no idea they were related…stressed me out lol 😏
I have two of these symptoms- hair loss and
Tinnitus- have had a very stressful two years. The article was very helpful. Kick started my walking routine and positive
outlook. Thanks.
I just went through a year and a half of stressful days and nights. I felt helpless and I even felt close to
Palpitations one night and I pressed my life alert and spent one night in the hospital, where the doctors
did not find anything wrong. I spoke to my family doctor about my problem and he wrote in my chart
that I was paranoid.
The term of my lease finally was over and I moved with my daughter and her family and my nightmare
is finally over.
I don’t have an overweight problem. Want to get fit, strong and energetic. What is all the internet hang up that all people who fast and want to learn yoga are fat!
thank you very much for all that info.
One thing I do during extreme stress is sleep. Go to my happy place and stay there until my body functions wake me up. Then I go back. One time I slept for 3 days on and off. No TV. No noise. No outside stressor. It passes and I feel more relaxed.
I love the information , and I would like to be come a member of your science information.
I think stress is a much larger problem than you discribe. I’ve had 11 stents, 5 strokes, 2 heart attacks, and died once. I attribute all that to stress as I endured many hours, days, weeks and years working without having the choice to avoid the stress I was under.
Better choices would have helped me, I realize that. As far as suggestions for you, I suggest you take this fight to insurance companies first. Unfortunately I don’t see a simple solution to the ultimate culprit, capitalism. Good luck with yours. I’ll try to influence mine.
